Redefining Success: You’re Not Behind, You’re Running a Different Race

You’ve been told to just work harder, catch up, and push through—but what if the metrics you’re chasing were never designed with you in mind? In this episode of Feminine & Formidable, Sara and Kira have a real, unfiltered conversation about what it means to succeed in spaces where you were never meant to thrive. From underrepresentation in law and leadership, to the weight of generational inequality, they explore why comparison culture is harmful—and how embracing your own path can be revolutionary. They also unpack the myth of the “Talented Tenth,” proximity to power, and why we need to stop measuring our progress with someone else’s yardstick. This one is for every woman carrying invisible weight, breaking cycles, and daring to define success on her own terms.   💌 Got something on your mind?
